Some details about the development of this game using Game Maker:

I was always a big fan of rigid body physics but used GM8 for a long time. Way too late I found out that GMS2 and even GMS1 have them, so ofcourse I had to test them. After playing around with those physics I found them super fun and wanted to create a game with them. And I'm a big fan of Rocket League, so why not try to create a 2D car and kick a ball around.

And alone it gets a bit boring after a while, so I thought why not make it a multiplayer game. Playing around with GMS2 networking I made a first version of a simple multiplayer with two placeholder cars and a simple ball. And it was super fun! With a ping of 1ms in the same network... .I tried to play it with some friends that were further away to test it with a higher and realistic ping. It became unplayable. The latency made inputs super slow and cars were warping around.

Sadly there was no way to use latency compensating methods in GMS2 because for that I needed full control of the physics engine GMS2 uses. I needed to customize some of its functions which was not possible with GMS2. So I had to move all physics to a java extension that uses the same physics library as GMS2 (Box2D).

Now all the UI, graphics, sounds and other effects are handled in GMS2 and all physics run in the extension. The networked physics run on a Node.js server which uses a Box2D library for JS.
